The Chargé in Guatemala ( O’Donoghue ) to the Secretary of State

No. 692

Sir: Confirming the Legation’s telegram No. 32 of today’s date,33 I have the honor to report that the three day “Consultation” held on June 22, 23, and 24, with reference to the continuance in office of President Ubico, was conducted throughout the Republic in a peaceful manner. Early, but at the same time practically conclusive, returns indicate that 843,168 affirmative opinions were registered and 1,227 negative. These figures compare very favorably with the 310,235 votes registered in favor of General Ubico at the time of the Presidential election in 1931.

Respectfully yours,

Sidney E. O’Donoghue
